Pan... Tax bases are not guartanteed to rise. Plus, paying the T-bill off LATER would actually more easily allow individuals to start businesses and create investment accounts sooner than if they payed it early, causing the government to eat even more interest cost.
Also, what makes you say that this is going to encourage any more investment than currently exists? I find that assumption to be completely baseless. People could do that now, anyway. Beyond that, the people who would do such are mostly the better half of the middle class and the wealthy. The upper-middle and upper class invest anyway. The lower half of the classes would probably not invest and put all their money into living expenses and consumer goods as they do now, since most (I presume) are not satisfied with their standards of living. This leaves only a small slice of the middle class that would actually take their SS tax and with iit invest more than they currently are. In addition, I question your view that the average American is just dying to start a business, as you seem to be implying.
...You still aren't providing me with enough substance to convince me that this is worth the governmental cost.
